Briefly explain earth's daily rotation and annual orbit, defining the terms ecliptic plane and axis tilt.

1 answer:

8 0

<span>The movement around the axis of the earth occurs once every 24 hours and it does so from a start point to finish in a term we can call complete revolution and it does this by day by day turn, every 24 hours. The yearly circle where the earth moves round the sun , however is a 365 transformation around the sun or ecliptic plane. It does this with the earth tilted at 23.5 degrees, off the opposite line to the ecliptic plane.</span>

Help would be greatly appreciated:) thank you! a pendulum clock is brought to mars. How does the bob move on Mars as compared to

Alborosie

It runs slower <span>as gravity is lower so acceleration due to gravity is smaller</span>

A 30.0 kg dolphin decelerates from 12.0 to 7.00 m/s in 2.60 s to join another dolphin in play. What average force (in N) was exe

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Force is 57.69 N to the opposite direction of motion of dolphin.

Explanation:

We have force is the product of mass and acceleration.

That is

Force = Mass x Acceleration

F = ma

Mass of dolphin, m = 30 kg

We have equation of motion, v = u + at

Final velocity, v = 7 m/s

Initial velocity, u = 12 m/s

Time, t = 2.60 s

Substituting

7 = 12 + a x 2.6

a = -1.92 m/s²

Force, F = 30 x -1.92 = -57.69 N

So the force is 57.69 N to the opposite direction of motion of dolphin.

In which space, outdoors or in your classroom, would it be easier to hear a musician? Explain

bixtya [17]

Answer:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom than outdoors

Explanation:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom due to the improved acoustics provided by the walls of the classroom whereby along with the direct sound of the musician, which is the lead source of the sounds, there is an increased number of indirect sound reaching the ear in the classroom than outdoors and due to precedence effect, all the sound appear to come from the musician

In music played outside, along side the direct sound from the musician, the indirect sound that reach the ear is echoed from maybe by only the ground while the majority of the sound from the music wanders away with the wind and in other directions as well as being absorbed such that speakers will be required to improve the sound of the music outdoors.

An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 690 km/h . A) If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 90 km/h (

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:a) 629,5851 km/h in magnitude b)629,5851 km/h at 84,2 degrees from east pointing south direction or in vector form 626,6396 km/h south + 63,6396km/h east. c) 16,5 km NE of the desired position

Explanation:

Since the plane is flying south at 690 km/h and the wind is blowing at assumed constant speed of 90 km/h from SW, we get a triangle relation where

see fig 1

Then we can decompose those 90 km/h into vectors, one north and one east, both of the same magnitude, since the angle is 45 degrees with respect to the east, that is direction norhteast or NE, then

90 km/h NE= 63,6396 km/h north + 63,6396 km/h east,

this because we have an isosceles triangle, then the cathetus length is

hypotenuse/ $\sqrt{2}$

using Pythagoras, here the hypotenuse is 90, then the cathetus are of length

90/ $\sqrt{2}$ km/h= 63,6396 km/h.

Now the total speed of the plane is

690km/h south + 63,6396 km/h north +63,6396 km/h east,

this is 626,3604 km/h south + 63,6396 km/h east, here north is as if we had -south.

then using again Pythagoras we get the magnitude of the total speed it is

$\sqrt{626,3604 ^2+63,6396^2} km/h=629,5851km/h$ ,

the direction is calculated with respect to the south using trigonometry, we know the

sin x= cathetus opposed / hypotenuse,

then

x= $sin^{-1}'frac{63,6396}{629,5851}$ =5,801 degrees from South as reference (0 degrees) in East direction or as usual 84,2 degrees from east pointing south or in vector form

626,6396 km/h south + 63,6396km/h east.

Finally since the detour is caused by the west speed component plus the slow down caused by the north component of the wind speed, we get

Xdetour{east}= 63,6396 km/h* (11 min* h)/(60 min)=11,6672 km=Xdetour{north} ,

since 11 min=11/60 hours=0.1833 hours.

Then the total detour from the expected position, the one it should have without the influence of the wind, we get

Xdetour=[/tex]\sqrt{2* 11,6672x^{2} }[/tex] = 16,5km at 45 degrees from east pointing north

The situation is sketched as follows see fig 2
